A number of studies have demonstrated that exercise programs and motor and respiratory physiotherapy improve aerobic capacity, breathing pattern, and muscle strength in senior citizens. The purpose of this study was effect of aerobic exercise program on Asthma and aerobic capacity in women asthmatically people.22 young asthmatically people were selected voluntarily and divided into 2 groups. The experimental group (age = 22.1 ± 2.23 years, height = 169.4 ± 1.8 cm; weight = 68.7 ± 3.4 kg) performed a selected aerobic physical activity for 4 month (5 days a week, 20 – 30 minute ergometry with 60 – 85% max HR) and their Asthma and aerobic capacity were measured before and after protocol. The control group (age = 23.1 ± 2.9years, height = 167.3 ± 2.4 cm; weight = 67.4 ± 3 kg) had no any exercise activity during this study and they only had daily activity. Analyzing the data showed that the protocols had a significant effect on Asthma and aerobic capacity in experimental group (P = 0.001, P = 0.001, respectively). In conclusion, anaerobic exercise program effect on Asthma in women and increased aerobic capacity. Therefore, anaerobic exercise program could be included in the therapeutic approach in women with asthma.
